This book is an excellent resource for anyone facing the challenges of caring for a loved one who needs long term support. The book contains cases which describe the experiences of several prototype situations and the emotions that those involved deal with on a day to day basis. This book highlights the fact that caregiving is a difficult task and that the emotions caregivers feel are common and normal. The book exonerates caregives who feel guilty for the difficulties that they face and provides the support that we need to carry on. A must read

I bought this book based on the recommendation of a wise friend and didn't find it to be at all fresh or new, just a rehash of what everyone says about taking care of yourself when you're the caregiver. Kinda "Duh" to my mind.

This book helped me so much feel not so alone with the enormous strain I am going thorugh with my parents, who are both starting to have odd behaviors. I just sobbed at all I was going through until I read this book. Now I have some real tools, techniques, understanding, and I know how to get back to compassion when I start to lose it. Take this book with you to a support group, as I found that being around others helped me so much. Another MUST read that will help you cope is "Elder Rage" which is full of practical advice too, delivered with so much humor it is a fun read that you can't put down. Two wonderful books of hope.
